You have to meet people that are capable of what he’s been accused/ convicted of doing. They don’t tend to have a moment of blazing regret & instrospection regarding their past actions. It’s not impossible, just highly unlikely. If anything, he may have been stupid enough to voice that he was confident about beating…
I thought that was a possibility bc of the timing. He beat this other case just a minute ago, & that raises class issues among inmates AND guards (low education/economic class/shit pay), bc there are often simmering resentments about the fact that verdicts are essentially bought (in the sense of what kind of legal…
While what you’re saying about certain hyper masculine guys is sometimes true, when predators go to prison- they are still predators in their new environment. This idea that predators will finally be preyed upon is satisfying to the sadistic American public, but the fact is, monsters often morph into outright demons…
But,...but, where is Coral?
Lol! While I always thought Prince was beautiful & attractive, I’m not attracted to him (bc I’m not attracted to everyone I find attractive). I kept the poster mostly as a heirloom, along with some other posters I acquired over the years. It’s not super specific, but very wiry, thin & tall has always been what caught…
He also has an Oscar for the soundtrack for Purple Rain- and he deserved the hell out of that award. I liked Prince from back in the days of his drawers & trench coat, but the song Purple Rain is a rock anthem for the ages. Respect.
Everyone else belongs to a genre, while Prince is a genre unto himself. When he died, a hole was left in the universe. We’ll all die at some point, but we are all truly blessed to have lived at the same time that he unleashed his gift into this world.
I’m not someone who follows sports in a diehard fashion, & I’m definitely an outright hater of basketball. However, this guy speaks for a large number of black men- possibly the majority (especially those around 50 & under). His “apology” was forced, bc he meant (& means) what he said the first time. I don’t think…
People who have guns bc they’re afraid of an intruder, keep it by the bed. The exception may be if they have kids in the house (then the gun is more likely to be in a drawer, or under the bed). However, I’m speaking more for the usual in gulf south LA. I grew up in the “sportsman’s paradise”, & guns in my home never…
Part of the problem is that a lot of people who say “I worked my way through school” remember their friends & roommates, but don’t remember that their tuition was literally $900 per semester, bc they graduated 50 years ago (also, many older people have often been successful & had money for so long, that they are…
A lot of people are bitter & envious. My parents paid my way through private school, then college (plus my rent & all bills). I didn’t earn that in any way. I was just lucky enough to be born to people who could afford it. That’s it. Luck. It was a parental subsidy, rather than a state subsidy. I don’t get the kind of…
All of these incidents are mind boggling to me, bc I never attended a school with any officer of any kind on the property. At most, there was a 6 foot alcoholic nun who’d beat a grown man’s ass if he tested her penguin realness. I remember my parents telling me that many schools down the road in N. Orleans had…
LOLOLOLOL!!!
LOLOLOLOL!!!! We’re all going to die. You don’t need me to get you a guy- you’re an NYC woman. I think you’d HURT a southern guy, lol!! Im just used to them & their bullshit. Also, I’m not better looking than you. How dare you say that. I will not have that talk. Tillerson is worse news than anyone thinks- you can…
Yes, I thought I read this at least 3 years ago (likely more). At least he’s remained true to JJ on Good Times- coon on tv, coon in real life.
That’s the best part of my job: salaries are “public” within the company down to the penny (within the industry really). If you’re hired in, for example, in the May class of 15 operators, the union has already negotiated & signed the contract covering your salary amount- every individual in that class will start at…
